Jerry Sandusky is the accused pedophile that was an assistant coach at Penn St.

I'm assuming that he is guilty. The trial is going on now. I base my assumption on what I have personally read. I fully understand due process. I am not a juror on this case. If I were... I wouldn't be communicating on the topic.

If indeed what's being said is true, here's my take on it. (You can substitute Catholic Priest if you like... same difference.)

Jerry Sandusky was allowed ALL ACCESS on the Penn St. campus to molest kids. How did this happen?

It happened because the people of Penn St., and it's fan base, were so FIXATED on the tribal mentality of "winning" that they sold their souls.

They've convinced themselves that the navy and white uniforms are sacred artifacts. They convinced themselves that winning football games is the purpose of their existence. They convinced themselves that bad things are only done by those on the outside of their belief system and outside of their sacred idols and holy shrines. They convinced themselves that athletic ability is far GREATER than intellect or morals.

The concept of winning something that is meaningless is somehow important.

It's SO important that they chose to ignore the consequences. They raised a select few to iconic, God like status in the sole pursuit of winning.

They allowed a select few to act without the rule of law because they were so vain and indifferent.

They tied their identity to those who could "win" to such an extent that they lost their own identity and moral compass.

Using a soft word like "molestation" instead of "rape". He's not accused of having inappropriately fondled a child in a sexual manner - why make it sound like that?

Refering to him as an accused "pedophile" instead of an accused "serial child-rapist". He's not on trial for having an unacted upon attraction to underage persons - why make it sound like that? Pedophilia isn't a crime - Pedophillic Acts are.

Unquestionably Heinous for the Penn State Leadership (what does the word mean) to allow it to continue (whatever their motivation) and the same goes for whatever wears the Law Enforcement hats there, but we can't condemn the fan base since the media did not bother to inform the public about this stuff until recently.

We know that a couple of Pennsylvania Judges were convicted (after many years) of selling children into the prison industrial complex (to increase their privitized profits) and had reportedly "earned" over a $million each in the kick-back scheme - tells us something about how they value children there (commodities not human beings).

Probably same kind of folks that coin and use terms like "human capital".

There is a similarity in Penn State football and priests, because Penn State was their religious institution, and football their religion. It's also parallell to a company town, everything centers around the town's business, football..

Sandusky might take himself out as it gets more exposed. I don't know if he's out on bail, or home arrest, but there is a way.

Jan,, as far as exposure I meant case details. It could go the way of Clinton, and M Jackson and hear his penis described, and, erect like Anthony Weiner's or not, but in a men's shower, it should be a given, though some of the showers are colder than others.

He's gulity based on what he admits. Bringing young boys into the shower with him. Anyone who does this is a sicko. If a grown man is going to shower with anybody it should be limitied to his wife, his girlfriend or his wifes girlfirend.

I know that... just kidding with you.

This is a disgusting case and Sandusky should go to jail for a very very long time.

I think Chris Matthews is the most disgusted of all of us. I have never seen a tv guy be so flabergasted by a situation. If it wasn't such a serious subject, he would be comical.

Replying to #9 - In our defense, the Heading could have been more helpful to us.

Your point has been well outlined/explained by Spong (and others) as "tribal" behavior.

Post in general: Addendum to #2 and replying to #10:

When a 21+ year old happens to find something sexually appealing about a young teen (female or male) but does nothing - or checks themself once they find out the age - that is pedophilia within our legal structure. [Let's leave those so-called marriages to 12 year old girls out of this discussion.]

When a 21+ year old sets up an NGO to specifically collect large numbers of vulnerable (economically/emotionally disadvantaged) children which facilliates selection, grooming, and positioning for rape with no escape - there can be no doubt as to intent.

And I would add that there also has to be a fair number of people associated with that NGO that knew what was going on and they should be charged as accessories including the MammaBush types that probably thought something like "it really worked out very well for those kids - they were poor, you know."

One of the really weird ironies of politics these days is the huge divergence between what the American people actually want and what the radical right-wingers in Washington actually do. You won’t hear this on Fox So-Called News, but right now the American people are as progressive as they ever have been.
